Have to get some clearance between the toilet and shower. The shower can't move because there is an I beam along the ceiling parallel to the adjacent wall. Not enough height.

What are you going to do with the double Y fitting that you show attached to the toilet bend?

As installed ,you will fill the two inch pipes with sewage every time the toilet is flushed--

And what's that old tile line for?
At some point it's going to fail and need to be dug up and replaced.
Looks like now would be a good time to do it.

Are you planning on sending toilet waste into your shower line? Because with that wye you have positioned the way you do like oh'mike said everytime you flush the commode some sewage will go into the shower branch.

Not to mention how would you expect the shower to drain into the wye and take that 135 degree turn???

Or maybe everyone is just misunderstanding your intention??

I have a toilet, lav, and shower that have to go to this "main outlet". I need to know how to properly "route" the lines.
Maybe I have to put the toilet to the right of existing position. Or Y everything right above the main outlet with a straight 4 with a 2 out the side?

Not sure what's up with the tile line. I could sketch a layout of what I think it's for. But guessing the basement floor drains and main sewage are two separate lines leaving the house. It's 80 yr old house. It's heading right for an outside wall. I could replace yes and maybe just junction with the other line??

So just reverse the Y direction and its ok??
I'm really limited by where I can place things in this space and that main is in a bad spot for where things must be placed and there's a terra cotta pipe next to it limiting the position of the toilet to somewhere only on that wall but not in the middle where it is now.
